In a letterto council,
Andrew McBride, chair :.ard,,
of the corporation, reported
that ,since demand,
seniors' housing in Wingha
is shrinking and- moneym for
the projects is becomint
more difficult to obtain,
there is little left for the
group to do.
Council discussed the
letter during its meeting last
week, but could not decide
whether it was better to wind
up the corporation or just
shelve it temporarily, in case
the need increased later. As
a result the matter was
tabled until the July
meeting.
The non-profit housing
corporation was set up in the
fall of 1982 to. build and
Manage additional housing
for seniors in Wingham.
However it has not been able
to demonstrate sufficient
need in the communityrto get
money fol• a housing project.
Of a $3,000 provincial grant
obtained to start the cor-
poration, all but $63.14 has
been spent on surveys and
incorporation fees.

A %'ppuaal by , the
Winghaflt. '.Juniors fastball
club to hos) a beer.garden on
a Saturday and Sunday
s during a tournament this
August sparked a debate
among councillors over the
propriety of permitting a
beer garden on Sunday.
Councillor James A.
Currie said he would not vote
for it, since he feels Sunday
is. not a day the people of
Wingham would want for a
beer garden; but he got little
support from other coun-
cillors.
"I'm not a prude and I
don't mind having a beer,"
Mr. Currie said, but a. beer
garden is not an appropriate
activity to encourage on a
Sunday.
Councillor Tom Miller told
him that other towns)permit
beer gardens on Sundays,
but Mr. Currie replied, "I'm
not sure the conscience of
this community is dictated
by the consciences of other
communities."
He got some support from
Councillor Dot.tg Switzer,
who suggested it is incon-
sistent for the town to charge
rent to groups using the
Armouries or arena for beer
gardens, while not charging
rent for using the ball parks
for the same purpose.
However Councillor Jack
Kopas noted that other
licenced premises in the
community are permitted to
serve alcoholic beverages on
Sunday, and Deputy Reeve
Patricia Bailey said that
while she does not drink, she
thinks other people should be
allowed a choice. Mr. Miller
also pointed out the tour-
nament in question is the
OASA championship and a
lot of people will come to
town for the event.
When it came to a vote, the
motion approving the beer
garden, subject to approval
of the town police, passed
easily.
Council also approved a
request for a beer garden at
a slow -pitch tournament and
earlier had approved a
similar request by the
Wingham BPs for their
tournament. However
neither of those groups
proposed to operate the beer
garden on a Sunday. •

There could be some
fireworks at the July
meeting of council as the
result of a challenge issued
to Deputy Reeve Patricia
Bailey to substantiate claims
she 'made about the town
police in a letter to the editor
earlier this spring.
Mrs. Bailey, who wrote the
letter after resigning from
council, before withdrawing
her resignation at the next
meeting} t` ras challenged by
Councillor Currie to clear the
record.
"There is definte mis-
information here," he .de-
clared, adding that he takes
issue with virtually every-
thing in the letter.
He also asked Councillor
Miller, the chairman of the
police committee, to explain
his comments made
following the vote on a police
commission at the May
ouncil meeting.
ecause of the length of
e meeting last Monday
night, there was not time to
pursue the matter further,
but council agreed to place it
on the agenda for the July
meeting. Mrs. Bailey told
Mr. Currie shewould be
pleased to reply to hiS
questions.

Speaker tells about
work in Honduras
BLUEVALE — On Wed-
nesday, June 6, Mrs. Keith
Moffatt was hostess to 15
ladies for the associate
members' meeting of the
Women's Missionary Society
of Knox Presbyterian
Church. President Mrs.
Glenn Golley opened ,the
meeting by reading a poem,
"He Hath Made Everything
Beautiful", followed by a
hymn.
Mrs. Moffatt read scrip-
ture, with comments entitled
"Bright Moments". She told
the ladies how much each
person can brighten
another's day with a friendly
greeting and a smile. A little
praise and a few words of
encouragement go a long
way too. She closed with a
poem, "Precious Thing"
Mrs. Joe Walker read a
prayer which was written by
Mrs. Alvin Mundell.
All ladies answered the
roll call which was to give a
verse pertaining to "fruit".
Mrs. Jack Jenkins gave the
treasurer's report and ac-
cepted the offering, with
prayer by Mrs. Golley.
Mrs. Moffatt then in-
troduced the guest speaker,
Mrs. Kathryn Golley, who
told of her trip to Honduras.
She travelled with other
Christian mission workers
from Canada and found that
her hosts speak mostly
German and a little English.
Mrs. Golley was selected
to work on the surgical team
and said that patients there
receive no food unless their
families bring it to them and
often go home 24 hours after
major surgery. Her films
showed very poor hospital
conditions, extremely small
rooms which need painting
and overcrowding. Water is
unsafe to drink but they do
have fresh fruits which they
export for their livelihood.
The speaker closed by
telling the ladies to do good
deeds not because they feel
they should but because they
want to follow the example of
Jesus who went forth to
serve. Mrs. Moffatt thanked
Mrs. Golley for a very en-
joyable account of her work
and presented her with a
token of appreciation.
